[Q1] Divij Sharan (IND,1223) bt Alejandor Moreno Figueroa (MEX,UNR) 62 16 61
[Q1] Purav Raja (IND,1079) bt (WC) Christopher Lopex (MEX,UNR) 61 62

[R1] (Q) Purav Raja (IND,1079) vs (2)(WC) Alex Bogomolov Jr. (RUS,94)

Doubles
[R1] (1) Divij Sharan (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) vs Richard Gabb (GBR)/ Nicolas Meister (USA)

Purav scored couple of solid wins against top-500 type players to qualify for main-draw but having super tough draw against top-100 Bogomolov jr. in the first round ... And I feel it is high time for Divij-Purav to play as per their potential or try their luck with different partners.
